days last month and down 34.3% from 134 days in March of last
year. The March 2017 DOM was at its lowest level compared

Selling Price vs Original Listings Price
The Selling Price vs Original Listing Price reveals the average
amount that Sellers are agreeing to come down from their
original list price. The lower the ratio is below 100% the more of
a Buyer's market exists, a ratio at or above 100% indicates more
of a Seller's market. The March 2017 Selling Price vs Original
List Price of 92.3% was down from 97.9% last month and up
from 88.0% in March of last year.
